PC - Instrumentation

Since 1989, Spectrum has led the way in the manufacture of high-speed and high-resolution PC instruments for PCI, PCI-X, PCI Express, PXI and CompactPCI (CPCI) busses. Years of experience as a developer and producer are feed in the products forming robust instruments for industrial needs.

Spectrum has focused its business on the high-speed A/D, D/A and Digital I/O range with sampling rates between 100 kS/s, 1 MS/s, 10 MS/s, 50 MS/s, 100 MS/s, 200 MS/s, 500 MS/s and 1 GS/s. Fast amplifiers and high-quality converters allow the acquisition and replay of high-frequency signals. As a result of the substantial on-board memory even fast signals may be recorded for long time with a high precision.

The boards are also available in a completely installed system. We offer a wide range of standard systems, 19" industrial systems or mobile PCs. For the mobile use together with a notebook, a range of high-performance docking stations that can hold up to three PCI boards is also available.

Dual Time Base Digitizer up to 1 GS/s
Having a segment orientated acquisition for digitizers is standard to a lot of manufacturers offerings. In this case the on-board memory is segmented and one segment of data is stored on every trigger event. This mode is well suited for repetitive signals with gaps like RADAR or SONAR or production tests where mechanical actions are taking place in between the acquisition of data. The Multiple Rec...
